The 40th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Environment (ISRSE-40), taking place 17-21 March 2025, has opened its call for papers.
Titled ‘Synergy in Sight: Harnessing Earth Observation for Sustainable Development’, the world-renowned symposium will explore the synergies between emerging technologies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and global partnerships to foster a deeper understanding of Earth-system dynamics and their applications.
We are calling for contributions that push boundaries, explore synergies between EO and emerging technologies, and address the pressing challenges of the 21st century.
Key themes include:
- Climate Change and Environmental Monitoring: EO applications for tracking and mitigating climate change impacts.
- Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security (Agroeconomy Focus): How EO can revolutionize global agriculture, enhance food security, and support the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. Special attention will be given to smallholder farmers and innovative financial tools such as parametric insurance.
- Resilient Urban and Infrastructure Systems: EO’s role in developing smart cities, monitoring urban growth, and strengthening urban resilience.
- Innovative EO Technologies: AI, machine learning, CubeSats, and other emerging technologies transforming EO data analysis and decision-making.
- Sustainable Land and Marine Resource Management: Innovations in monitoring forests, biodiversity, marine ecosystems, and water resources using EO. –
- Carbon Sequestration and Renewable Energy: EO-enabled carbon accounting for forests, renewable energy projects, and carbon offset programs.
- Interdisciplinary and Cross-Sectoral Collaboration: Case studies and strategies for effective collaboration between academia, industry, NGOs, and government stakeholders.
We invite you to submit your innovative research, case studies, and technological advancements for ISRSE-40, where we will break new ground by bridging the worlds of academia, industry, private sector, NGOs, and government bodies.
Submissions close Wednesday 27 November 2024, midnight GMT.
Please note: You will be asked to create a login for Oxford Abstracts to submit your abstract.
Convening upstream & downstream
Taking place in the UK for the first time in its 62-year history, ISRSE-40 will be co-located with the inaugural Farnborough International Space Show (FISS) 2025, which has been designed to pioneer the commercial space age and advance space domain defence.
The convergence of the two events will create the only opportunity for the global space industry to access the whole ecosystem – upstream and downstream – in one place, at the same time, at this scale in the UK.
This milestone will convene global leaders from across academia, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations to explore how EO can drive sustainable development and resilience across multiple sectors.
